Sweet Goodbye

I'm leaving by the train tonight,
I'm leaving his cherished sight,
It is for one full year,
That I shall not be near!
It will tear him apart-
How shall he still his heart?
He'll come running to the station,
With roses or carnation,
He'll catch my hand and he'll say
How he'll miss me when I'm away!

It's being the longest wait
My poor dear is running late!
I'm holding a silent phone,
And waiting all alone...

There's been no word all day-
Oh, no, to my dismay-
The train has started to go
He hasn't cared to show!
Has it all been a lie-
That I'm denied my sweet goodbye?

Props 3

Charlie drives to church. He sits next to a man who starts sobbing. Charlie hands him a handkerchief. The man is wearing a white T-shirt with a zebra printed on it.

Then Charlie goes to the supermarket. He is shopping in an aisle. There is a small commotion in the next aisle. A lady with pink hair is surrounded by people who are taking her autograph. Charlie looks up puzzled and then moves away.

Charlie returns home. He goes to his room. As he is opening the door, a man in a white T-shirt is leaving from the window. Charlie does not see him. He once again looks at the poster on his wall and sighs.

Night arrives. Charlie puts on the TV in his room. The news shows a woman landing on the moon. It's a live telecast. Charlie turns off the TV and goes to sleep. A full moon is seen outside his window.
The words 'The End' appear on the moon zoomed.

Charlie is lying asleep in his bed. A burgler moves out on tip toes from the closet of his bedroom. He picks up a small TV set, makes his way to the door and disappears. He's wearing a black mask and a white T-shirt with a zebra printed on it.

There's a poster of an actress with pink hair on the wall. Charlie has a rooster shaped alarm clock on the bedstand. A bird is seen outside the window of his room. It's a rooster. It is after sunrise. The rooster in the window crows loudly. Charlie turns over and throws a hand over the alarm clock. Then the rooster moves away from the window. Charlie wakes up. He looks at the poster and sighs.

Later, he goes to the kitchen to make breakfast. He pours milk into a bowl and turns to get cornflakes. Just then the doorbell rings. As he goes out of the kitchen, a cat enters through the kitchen window and starts drinking the milk.

It's the postman. As Charlie takes a look at the mail, the cat walks out the door. Charlie turns and closes the door. He goes to the kitchen to see the bowl empty. He shrugs and makes coffee. While he's reading the paper at the kitchen table, the cat is seen chasing the rooster outside the window. The rooster crows. Charlie looks up puzzled and then continues to read.

A Memory

In the bed of my heart there lies

a sweet memory;

With a warm smile, it opens its eyes

and tells its story;

Sharing the warmth of love,

it floats away like a dove

and disappears somewhere in the now.

Where do you keep a sweet memory?

Enshrine it deep within or set it free?

I say,

Treat it like a butterfly,

Enjoy its flight and let out a sigh

when it disappears somewhere in the now.

Raja in the city

It was one year back that Raja came
To the city in search of money and fame;
Within no time, he had a break,
And celebrated by eating cake.
He even found a pretty girl,
And wooed her with a set of pearl.
On a soon Sunday he then chose
To go down on his knees and propose.
He didn't let his village know,
It was a place he'd now not go.
Then came a postcard to his door,
With, "I shall love you forever more",
Reminding him of his first kiss,
Alerting him of a broken promise.
With no regret Raja put away
Rani's world of yesterday.

Wherefrom does hope arise?

Her hope dwindled through the day like the last traces of a candle lit. In a moment there would be darkness. She knew and her soul ached from despair. The pain could make an aethist pray. Her tired eyes glanced above
and her tired voice whispered 'please'. In a moment there would be darkness.
Yet, a moment later there was light; unexplained and soothing. Was it the prayer she had only tried to say? The sudden relief and balm of peace brought in its wake doubts to her mind of her probable benefactor. Was god a tyrrant who only favoured the devotee? Could he be bribed through prayer?
Remembering her sorrow as her own, words came to her mind: 'As you sow, so you reap.' Reflecting thus, she thought again-
Or was he a merciful soul who relieved even a sinner from the lawful pain one had but earned oneself?
